Flowering time is 8 - 10 weeks according to their website.
Sometimes you need an extra week or two though.
100% correct. There is a lot of controversy wrt growing at 12/12 from the start. I don't recall the entirety of the discussion but, suffice to say, it wasn't worth it, hence why I dismissed the technique.
Am I correct to interpret, if he grows them IAW mfr specs, that being under 12/12 results in a reduced flowering period? For those limited to grow only 4 plants, this is simply not suitable for me.12/12 method works fine for certain situations, it's the fastest way to get some smoke if no access to cuts, with high plant counts grown SOG can yield fine.
I think the controversy comes from the plants still needing to reach sexual maturity, with mature plants you can start the countdown from the flip, 12/12 you have to wait until preflower.
These days I prefer to grow trees, but would not hesitate to go this route again if the situation called for it

I don't remember much details of pass discussion of this technique but from what I saw the most viable candidate for that method was somebody working with very limited grow space and the idea being the stretch phase would bring the plant up to a reasonable height. Of course it would also be suitable for anyone who was so desperate to get weed they would be willing to sacrifice yield for speed. I don't recall seeing this discussed but it would also seem to only be practical when working with feminized seed only. I mean you could pull it off with regular seed but there would be a risk of it not meeting your goals if too many of the seedlings ended up being male.

HempKat ...I used to start 30 seeds with the goal of having 15 flowering under my 250w.
